Livingstone is no stranger to Mexican cuisine, having helped his mother run their family spot Chicanos Mexican Restaurant in Quesnel for more than a decade prior to coming to Vancouver and working in restaurants around the city before helming the kitchen at Loula’s in 2024.
La Mezcaleria’s Orozco was born in Ciudad Neza, Mexico and developed his love for cooking from helping his abuela in her kitchen as a child. He went on to graduate from culinary school in Guadalajara and honed his skills in kitchens in Mexico, Spain and Whistler before joining the team at La Mezcaleria in 2024.
